The Inventory of the Book Collection of The Inventory of the Book Collection of Wiktoria z Scheillów Wendorffowa as an Example of the Inventory of the Library of a Polish Landed Gentry Family in the First Half of the Nineteenth Century

Summary/Abstract: This article concerns the manuscript inventory of the book collection of Wiktoria z Scheillów Wendorffowa, which was written according to an extant will. It is an example of the inventory of a nineteenth-century library belonging to a Polish landed gentry family and which is to be found together with other notarial deeds. The list of 222 books has been reconstructed and has briefly analysed. The entries in the manuscripts have been completed with the bibliographical descriptions of particular recovered items and consist of the following elements: author, title, place and year of publication, access online (optional). This reconstruction has led to conclusions concerning both the size and value of the library as well as the subjects of the books. It also allows us to reflect on how useful posthumous inventories of private libraries are for bibliological research.
